Born of a background in functional anatomy and blessed by the good fortune of maturing in a traditional Hatha Yoga ashram, international yoga teacher Daniel Rama is known for bringing a powerful balance of both new and old. His story is one of turning tremendous pain and suffering into opportunity for powerful personal transformation. Through a series of what he calls "at-first unfortunate events," the problem child born with the name Daniel De France became Daniel Rama, teacher of teachers.

In this episode, you'll hear from Rama on:

• The two fundamentally life-altering lessons he learned during his first two weeks living in at the Sivananda ashram
• What stories, mythology, and poetic language can teach us about ourselves and the philosophy of life
• How feeling totally and utterly alone set Rama up to receive the teachings of yoga
• Why Rama changed his mind about the practice of bramacharya, and how partnership has expanded his consciousness and joy
